What makes you say that? Jealous maybe?
S.Simon "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ... What a load of crap!.... CM "Simple Simon" wrote in message ... | I sail up to St. Augustine, FL where's there's four to | five feet of tide, go to my favorite sandbar back in the | bay there and ground the boat at high tide. Then it's | a matter of letting the tide go out and making sure the | boat leans towards the high side of the bar. Then it's | out with the sandpaper soon as the bottom dries and | two or three coats of paint go on the side that's showing | nicely. | | Then when the tide comes back up it's a matter of turning | the boat around and leaning it the other way and painting | the other side. The only place that cannot be painted this | way is the very bottom of the keel. That can be done | underwater though the paint never really dries very good | this way. | | S.Simon | | | "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ... | Sounds like a good deal Neal... how do you manage to | get it up on blocks to paint the bottom without a lift? | | "Simple Simon" wrote in message | ... | That's really cheap. Since the Canadian dollar is worth | about 60 cents US you are practically getting a haulout | for nothing. | | But, guess what? I pay NOTHING for my water and | electricity. I can step and unstep my own mast without | the help of a crane. I can careen and paint my bottom | without the help of a yard. | | I'm a real sailor while you're a semi-lubber. | | S.Simon | | | "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message | ... | Holy Cow..... I paid $98 Cdn to haul and step the mast with a crane and | $200 Cdn for storage... power & water included at Mahone Bay!! Sucks to | be | You! | | CM | | "Jeff Morris" jeffmo@NoSpam-sv-lokiDOTcom wrote in message | ... | | 4K would be about right for a 40 footer at a Brewer's yard. $44 per | foot | for storage, | | $16/f + materials for shrink, $10/f to leave mast in, more to unrig | and | store. | | Decommissioning engine, genset, etc. It adds up fast when you go | first | class. | | | | http://www.byy.com/westbrook/PPM-WS03.pdf | | | | | | "Bobsprit" wrote in message | | ... | | USCG doc's, a | | copy of my drivers license so when you think it's someone elses, and | even | | take you for a sail, that should cover the $4k for the storage. | | | | 4K for storage. Even at Capri that would be a 65 foot boat. Now we | know | you | | don't have a boat. | | | | RB | | | | | | | | | | | | |
